翻译练习：

只有忽视学生在学习中所起的关键作用，一个人才会建议应该根据学生取得的学业成绩来设定老师的工资。因为学生的学术表现在很大程度上是由他们自身的天赋和学习的主动性所决定的，它们不能提供除了对老师的能力和努力的间接表现之外的其他东西。

参考答案：

Only by ignoring the essential role students play in learning can one propose that teachers' salaries should be based on how much their students have achieved in study. As students' academic performance, to a great extent, is determined by their own talent and initiative in learning, they cannot provide anything other than an indirect indication of teachers' competence and efforts.
